Results and Enrollment 2024-25

Admitted applicants will receive a conditional offer, whose validity is confirmed only under the following conditions:

• submission of the enrollment application within the set deadlines
• fulfillment of the requirements stated in the admission result

Failure to satisfy even one of the above-mentioned conditions by the set deadlines will entail the revocation of the admission and, as a result, the cancellation of the enrollment.

POSSIBLE CHANGE OF THE BACHELOR PROGRAM OF ADMISSION

1. After Admission (during the enrollment period)

After receiving an admission result, it will be possible to request a change of program only once, towards one program and to a program indicated with a lower preference degree than the one you were initially admitted to or not previously indicated. For example, if admitted to the second choice, a change cannot be requested towards the first choice, but only towards the third or fourth choice, or towards a program that was not indicated in the admission application.

The request must be submitted once the admission outcome is known, by writing to admissionsoffice@unibocconi.it, in a timely manner to allow the office to evaluate it well in advance of the deadlines provided below. The deadline for submitting the request will in any case precede the enrollment deadline, to allow students to receive their change request result in time for enrollment.

Once a change of program request is submitted, it cannot be modified or canceled, neither during the evaluation phase nor once accepted, in the case of a positive outcome. Therefore, it is advisable to make a request only after careful consideration and if strongly motivated.

The change of program will not be granted automatically but only after evaluation by the Admissions Office, considering a number of criteria such as the applicant's ranking score, the number of requests received, from and to which programs, etc.
 

2. After the enrollment

Only for those enrolled in the 2024/25 Early and Winter sessions, it will be possible, exceptionally, to submit a request for a change of program from 15 April to 15 May 2024, as indicated below:

1. Write to admissionsoffice@unibocconi.it well in advance before the deadline and, in any case, by 14 May 2024 at 3:00pm (CET) in order to receive via e-mail, the instructions to submit the request by the set deadline;
2. You will receive the instructions to submit the request by 15 May 2024 at 3:00pm (CEST), through the enrollment procedure of your round of admission (Early or Winter), in My Application.
3. Results will be available during the last week of May. In case the request of change from a program in Italian to a program in English or vice versa is accepted, the relevant minimum English level requirement will change according to the course of destination.

The criteria are as follows:

• Transfer students with credit recognition cannot submit a request.
• Students admitted/enrolled in the Spring session cannot submit a request.
• A request may be submitted only once, it cannot be modified or canceled.
• A change can be requested towards a single program (no multiple requests are allowed) and to a program indicated with a lower preference degree than the one initially admitted or not previously indicated.
• If a request has already been submitted after admission (within the enrollment deadlines) and has been denied, the same request should not be resubmitted because the result would be the same.

Even in this phase, once a change of program request is submitted, it cannot be modified or canceled, neither during the evaluation phase nor once accepted, in the case of a positive outcome. Therefore, it is advisable to make a request only after careful consideration and if strongly motivated.

The change of program will not be granted automatically but only after evaluation by the Admissions Office, considering a number of criteria such as the applicant's ranking score, the number of requests received, from and to which programs, etc.
 

3. At the End of the First Year of the Bachelor Program

It will be possible to request a change of enrollment program at the end of the first year, according to procedures and timelines defined by the academic secretariat. For more information, have a look at the Guide to the University, in the Administrative rules, procedures and deadlines section.

Non-admitted candidates can re-apply  for the following sessions by submitting a brand new online application via the Bocconi online portal within the set deadlines. 

At the discretion of the Admissions Committee, in some selection rounds, it is possible to receive a Waiting List result. Applicants in "waiting list" result are in any case considered as NOT admitted.

Only in the event of a residual availability of places at the end of the enrollment period, the Admissions Office will get in contact with applicants in waiting list according to the admission ranking order.

BOCCONI ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY TEST

The online Bocconi English Language Proficiency Test, that is reserved to enrolled students, will be activated starting in mid-February 2024. From that date onward, it will be possible to book and purchase test attempts on the webtesting platform already used for the online Bocconi test.

The test can be taken up to a maximum of 3 times from February to June 2024, with each attempt costing 30 euros. It will consist of 50 questions of various types. Upon completion, a certificate indicating the achieved CEFR level will be issued. This certificate can be used for the purpose of enrollment at Bocconi for those who have not yet obtained a language certification.

The certificate from the Bocconi online English language proficiency test will be valid only as an admission requirement for Bocconi and not for other purposes, both outside and during your Bocconi student career (e.g. English exam substitution).

ALTISSIA PLATFORM

Additionally, with the aim of providing support for language study and practice, the Altissia platform is made available to all enrolled students. Altissia is an application that gives you access to personalized language courses in English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, and Portuguese, featuring exercises and multimedia resources.

This tool is particularly designed for practicing the English language, and its use is recommended to start your courses with adequate support. It also serves as preparation for taking the Bocconi English Language Proficiency Test and fulfilling the English language requirement for enrollment.

Transfer students are all the applicants enrolled (or that have already completed a Bachelor/Master of Science degree) in a university (not Bocconi), in Italy or abroad.

Transfer students follow the same admission process up to the enrollment as all other applicants (University transcripts are not evaluated for the selection). 

Once admitted, transfer students enroll in the first year of the program and they may request or not request recognition of exams taken in the university of origin.
